Andrew Shepard

Personality

Andrew, as a child, was reserved and kept to himself because the other kids somehow did not like him either because of how different he looked from everyone else or because of his thick accent. He became freer and expressed himself more as he grew up, becoming a fairly outgoing and friendly individual, and a proud Lominsan. He can count the number of friends he has with one hand and he is loyal to them to the end. He hates seeing them down and distressed and will try his best to make sure they're alright and well. As a consequence of his childhood, he has quite become difficult to truly anger and annoy, and he will try to see things in a positive light.
As of late, however, he has become more cautious of who he lets in. This is because of recent events that have taken place where someone he deeply cared about betrayed him. However, his core values remain the same.

Some History

Born and raised in Limsa Lominsa, Andrew (called AJ by his parents and childhood close friends) grew up with a fairly hectic childhood. He spent a lot of time with his father in their forge because the other kids in his neighborhood didn't like him very much. He was bullied into his pre-teens and early teens until one day when he had decided that he had had enough. Taking some classes at the Marauders' guild, the bullies later learned their lesson when Andrew put his skills to the test. On them. He'd later get in big trouble for this but it did prove to him that knowing how to fight was a way to get awful people to leave you alone and also make friends. This was when he befriends neighbor Cameron James, who liked to be called CJ. (Ironically enough.)Both were quite inseparable and took classes together at the Marauders' guild and continued to spend time together until a family situation with CJ forced him and his family to leave Limsa Lominsa for the east. Letters written were promised but somehow, none reached Andrew. Because of this unexpected separation, Andrew stopped introducing himself as AJ to new people he met from this point on.After his 20th nameday, he became disinterested in the axe and wanted to be more like his father. He learned how to use carbines, arquebi, or otherwise known as pistols. He continued to work in the Shepard Forge with his father and provided services for anyone who needed weapons or armour crafted or repaired.Along the way, he'd meet several people that he'd become interested in but most separate in unamicable terms. The first is a man whom, in likely both their naivete, they'd confess to each other as soulmates. However, it would end up in a betrayal. He'd meet a Doman shinobi named Soga Tachikake, however it was not meant to be because Soga would find that his family really needs him. He had a short stint with a supposed Ala Mhigan man but they part in amicable terms because of how busy they'd become.While Andrew and Soga were together as a couple, Andrew believed that he needed to learn and be adept at something so that he can properly protect Soga in return. (Since Soga is a shinobi.) Andrew then began taking classes at the Pugilists' guild in Ul'dah. Little did he know, this would be more difficult than he thought but despite the difficulty, he stuck to it and became well-adjusted after several months. When Andrew accompanied Soga in Doma to help him with family issues, he was introduced to a man named Torazawa no Nabeshin who'd later teach him "martial arts." He'd also learn a lot of Doman Hingan here to the point where he can carry out conversations with others. When things did not work out with Soga, Andrew remained in Doma for a bit longer before eventually returning to Eorzea. Andrew still keeps in contact with Master Nabeshin. Upon his return to Eorzea, he'd meet a man that he'd believe to be some kind of vagabond by the name of Nate. While he did not get many chances to get to know him, Andrew still considers him a friend as he is a frequent client of the forge. Nate has had to bring in weapons to be repaired, and they've shared a few drinks in The Drowning Wench.Several months after Andrew returned and began work again at the Shepard Forge, his father Gabriel was offered a business opportunity when a Hrothgar named Frostulf Asmund dropped by for a visit though he was urged to go to Thavnair for it. Gabriel obliged and took Andrew with him to Thavnair where they'd learn how to forge gunblades. Actual gunblades and not the ones that the Garleans modified. After Gabriel was instructed on how to forge it perfectly, Andrew was then taught how to use them. With this knowledge, Gabriel and Frostulf keep in constant contact with each other thru letters.Today, Andrew is attempting to live life as best as possible. The first step to that is that he's introducing himself to others once again as AJ in an attempt to get over the past. Still, he has become cautious of people and is very careful about who he lets in.

Personality

One of Brad's more positive personality traits is that he's laid back, calm, cool, and collected. More often than not, he is usually in the group that keeps grounded and becomes the voice of reason when all reason has been thrown out. This is in comparison with his older brother Casey who is usually grumpy, angry, and unpleasant. Brad is generally kind, friendly, and positive.
However, Brad has a tendency to keep things bottled up inside. Whenever he goes through distress or difficult times, he internally wallows in it and never asks people for help. While he would help out most people who need it, he isn't the type to ask for it, nor would he accept it in the beginning.

Some History

Not having the chance to actually see Rabanastre in its finest glory, Brad was born into the Dalmascan Resistance against the Garlean Empire. As he was raised into this environment, he quickly became adept with long ranged weapons such as a bow and carbines and it was discovered at an early age that he, just like the rest of his family, had a talent for the aetheric arts. Healing and mending, to be more specific. Once he became of age, he then became a member of their Fusilier division as he preferred guns over bows.Like many, he suffered great losses at every battle they had with the Empire but has been fortunate that his family is still in tact. Once he was given news that the fighting has calmed and even had many of the Empire's soldiers withdraw, he and his older brother Casey were given the chance to depart Dalmasca and head for Eorzea in hopes of gathering some knowledge of the methods Eorzea used so they could gain an advantage. Upon arriving in Eorzean shores, however, they discover that fighting has ceased on both sides. For now, he and his brother have been given orders to remain in Eorzea until such a time that the Eorzean Alliance goes to battle with the Empire.

INTRODUCTION
Hey everyone. I'm Leif. How's it going? To start off, I'm in the US Pacific time zone so I'm GMT -8 (-7 during DST) and I'm usually on during the evenings on any given day and sporadically the rest of the week, but on at night. Usually. If my RP icon is present, then I am open for RP. Go ahead and walk on up, or send me a tell. I'm good with both. I would also prefer that both you and your character are at least 18 years old if you'd like to RP with me. Especially if we're getting into more adult-themed situations. (I myself am 21+)WHAT I'M OK WITH
I'm okay with most types of RP, though I tend to gravitate towards adventure, slice of life, mystery, combat, and some dark themes. I am okay with one-off and long-term RP. I'm also okay with romance and erotic topics as long as our characters have established a deeper connection than just a meeting here and there, and it isn't the only thing driving our RP. Even with Spike who would sleep with most people.WHAT I'M NOT OK WITH
Death, dismemberment, metagaming, pushing my characters into situations that would normally require consent, and other basic stuff that should be considered NO.CONTACT ME?
You are more than welcome to send me a tell in-game. You can also send me a message at Tumblr or send me a DM on Twitter. I also have a Discord but I'd prefer that we make first contact either in-game or on tumblr.ON COMBAT RP
I am open to combat RP but I'd like it if we do a small bit of planning first. I am open to both dice rolls and non-dice rolls but let's discuss first just so we're on the right page.
